I have over 12 years of experience as a psychological therapist – working with adults, children, young people and families, to overcome problems with anxiety, low mood and many other mental health difficulties.
I’m passionate about helping people develop effective, lifelong strategies to manage their own wellbeing.

I also currently work as Senior Lecturer in Psychological Therapies and Mental Health at Leeds Beckett University, where I train counsellors and therapists.
I offer a genuine, warm and empathic approach to therapy, and I will pay careful attention to your goals and what you would like to achieve from therapy.
Together, we can make a difference to the difficulties you are facing.
I look forward to helping you take the steps to achieving your goals.
